Literature belongs more to reading than to writing. If it belonged more to writing, it would be called writture and would be senseless.

SILENT READING PARTIES
They started in New York about a year ago, quite by chance. Four twenty-somethings decided to get together in a Brooklyn apartment, with their phones turned off and lots of books they had never managed to read due to lack of time.
The group read silently for an hour, then always spent some time sharing their thoughts.
The first “official” reading took place on the roof of their Brooklyn apartment, where the young people had invited some of their friends.
The project then attracted more and more people, expanded, and after only a couple of months involved two hundred people.
The young people then decided to consolidate the format, which is attracting more and more people of all ages in various places around the world.
